Q.) What does granola come in?
A.) 55 gallon plastic barrel with plastic lid-locking ring.

Q.) How much does a barrel weigh? 
A.) Approximately 350 to 400 pounds.

Q.) Where is Alfred located?
A.) Alfred is in Southern Maine, 
but we also have a bait station in Lincoln, Maine, which is farther north.

Q.) Do I have to return the barrel?
A.) No. You own the barrel, but if you prefer, you can
Clean the barrel well and return it, we will deduct
$10 off the next barrel of bait you buy.

Q.) Will you deliver to my door?
A.) Yes, most of the time, but you have to buy a full load (26 barrels). 
If you want less, we will meet you at an exit on the turnpike at a pre-determined point.

Q.) How long does granola last at a bear site?
A.) That depends on a lot of things. How much you put out, how many bears 
are coming in, how often you bait. We bait once a week and fill a 55 gallon screw top
bait barrel with about 35 gallons of loose bait and it will last all week, most of the time. 
Again, depending on how many bears are coming in.

Q.) What should I put the granola in?
A.) I suggest that you don't let the granola get wet with rain. We also sell, 55 gallon 
screw top plastic barrels with a 9" hole on the side and a 10' piece of 3/16" chain to 
tie the barrel to a tree. To cover the hole so that the granola will not fall out, we put
about 6-1" sticks 15" long inside over the hole.

Q.) How long will granola last in the 55 gallon barrel if I don't use it all?
A.) The granola will last 3-4 years, but keep it dry and safe from rodents.

Q.) Is granola hard to work with?
A.) No, if you put your bait barrels out in the sun, so that it will soften up 
making it easier to transfer to 5 gallon buckets in the hot days of July, 
when it is warm the granola is soft and easy to work with.

Q.) Do you ship bait?
A.) No, we cannot do this at this time, but we can ship samples, which costs $10.

Q.) What flavors do you have?
A.) Peanut butter, almond butter, chocolate chip, cranberry-raisin, and strawberry.

Q.) Which flavor works better?
A.) The bears like all the flavors, we haven't noticed one being preferred over the other.

Q.) How may I pay for the granola?
A.) To insure your delivery you can prepay by check to lock in your guarantee 
for delivery. We accept checks, money orders or cash.

Q.) When is the best time to get granola? 
A.) EARLY- April, May and June is the best time, because there is usually a small price increase July 1.

Q.) How much granola will I need? 
A.) At least one (1) barrel per bait site, but again it depends on how many bears are coming and how big they are.

Q.) What else do you sell?
A.) DONUTS- in 55 gallon barrels- approximate weight 350 pounds.
      PIE FILLING- in 5 gallon pails- blueberry, strawberry, black cherry,
      key lime, honey almond and apple flavors.
